Denise - Just got these in and am wearing them around the house. Live in New England so waiting for spring. No good in the snow. :.) Four pairs of earth shoes and just ordered another pair. Never a problem with size. Remember different styles of shoes are supposed to fit differently. Can't wait to wear them to work...busy bartender..

Portofino is fino - Have only worn them once, am sure will be a bit more comfy the more often they are worn. True to size.

Love it - I love this sandal. It is very comfortable, and also looks cute with skirts, etc. the ankle strap makes it more delicate looking than other comfort sandals. It is also a little bit more narrow and not as clunky. I have looked everywhere for flat sandals with good arch support, and this is the first pair I have found that look great too. I usually get 9.5 in shoes and 9 in sandals, and this 9 fit perfectly. Earth shoes tend to be on the larger side from what I’ve found.

LOVE IT! I first bought the Earth Dazzle, but I decided to order this shoe as well. I absolutely love EVERYTHING about this shoe - the color (red), fit, style and comfort. Definitely worth every penny.

Cutting corners... I've been a fan of Earth shoes for many years and have almost exclusively worn only that brand. After receiving this style, I was quite surprised and disappointed. Very expensive for Earth and they used a cork footbase instead of leather... No longevity there. I feel they are cutting corners for more profit... hmmmm... will cautiously order next time.

Pretty darn good. I'm on my feet all day for work. With knee problems and high arches I figured to throw down some dough for something attractive and supportive. These meet the bill. The arches were not quite as high as other Earth styles I've tried on, but better than other brands. The other thing is that these shoes are rather narrow. My feet are long and very slim but my pinky toe just fits in at the side. Good for me, unless you have average width feet. In general, I love these sandals.

Cute but a little hard on my feet. Own a number of Earth shoes, and this is a very stylish pair. I get a LOT of compliments. However, the cork footbed doesn't give much and early on I walked all day in this pair and got a blister. I still wear them, but not for long slogs. I have almost flat feet, and the arch support in these was almost too much.

Loved the look, hated the fit - I fell for these shoes so much i just had to have them. Unfortunately they didn't meet my expectations. I have a couple of other styles of earth sandals-tranquil and dream I think!- and the quality of these is nowhere near as good. The leather feels hard and chafes the foot. Also they are so narrow and shallow that I could hardly get my foot into them despite the fact that they were long enough! The ankle strap is a poor design too and offers no support. Unfortunately for me these were totally unwearable

Disappointing quality - I love the earth shoe, and this is a beautiful model five stars for comfort and appearance. However after two months the seams on the cork foot-bed frayed and came apart. (The edges of the shoes) Very disappointing for a sturdy orthopedic shoe, and need I say expensive. I used to think that Earth and quality were synonymous. I am disappointed with Earth. Zappos was faultless as usual. Perfection in a shoe company.
